This study examines the characteristics of criminal
offenders as they affect the primary outcomes of their court cases,
particularly plea bargaining decisions. The study was conducted in
Anchorage, Juneau, and Fairbanks, Alaska, over a two-year period from
August 1974 to August 1976. The data were collected from police
booking sheets, public fingerprint files, and court dockets. The unit
of observation is the felony case, i.e., a single felony charge
against a single defendant. Each unit of data contains information
about both the defendant and the charge. The variables include
demographic and social
characteristics of the offender, criminal history of the offender,
nature of the offense, evidence, victim characteristics, and
administrative factors related to the disposition of the case.
